Milestones
If you want a quick look at how my life has panned out until now, here you go!
August 2024 - May 2026
University of Florida
Currently, I am pursuing MSCS with minor in Systems. I have built a lot of systems from scratch but I realized I had little knowledge on scaling them. After I graduate I aim to work on scaling web systems specifically using parallel algorithms.
May 2021 - July 2024
Airvet Inc.
While working at Airvet, I grew from a software dev to a product engineer. I got introduced to the necessary bureaucracy that goes into building a product for a market that didn't exist before. I witnessed a complete product life cycle. At the end, I was more confident in not just my software skills but in my soft skills.
Toastmasters - August 2022
Became a Toastmaster to better my public speaking and story telling skills. Overcame a lot of fear and learned to charge social battery.
August 2020 - December 2021
Freelancing
This was my sleepless era. I was almost working 16 hours a day. Honestly, I exceeded everyone's expectations, especially myself. This part of my life made me brave and inclined towards taking more risks. I was mostly involved with Polydelic AS, a company based in Oslo. I built more than half a dozen MVPs with them.
May 2019 - April 2021
Leapfrog Technology Inc.
I failed my first written test here. On my second attempt, I got the interview and the internship. Started off as an Associate Software Engineer and quickly became a Software Engineer. Was a proxy team lead to build a product that automated the process to build Product Requirement Document. My friend and I probably started working on at least 5 ideas that still live in my github as incomplete MVPs.
May 2019
Founder Mode Deactivated
Lost Hult Prize in Tokyo and needed a real job that paid. Went on looking for internship. The end of Dailo.
September 2015 - October 2019
Kathmandu University
I wrote my first lines of code here. Technically I wrote it in high school, but this is where I understood what I was writing. Worked on dozens of projects, participated in hackathons, mentored in a few of them, even organized a couple.
Hult Prize - April 2019
In December 2018, We won the Hult Prize at Kathmandu University. We pitched Dailo to a panel of entrepreneur judges in the competition. We won. I went on to represent our university to the regional finals at Tokyo where we lost but learned a lot about startups.
Founder Mode - March 2018
Few of my friends and I came up with an idea for a collaborative marketplace of unique tasks to be matched with a skilled helper in the network who can voluntarily signup. We named it "Dailo" - it roughly means patio in Nepali.
June 2013 - May 2015
St Xavier's
Made it to the most prestigious high school in the country. First ever win in life.
